Our Staff

The staff have experience ranging from working as therapists on first-class airlines and cruise ships, to senior level practitioners in the country’s top salons and, due to the practical nature of this course, you will develop a real relationship with them.

One of the things our department is most proud of is that the majority of our students progress through to the highest levels here at Nescot. For example the majority of our Level 2 students will be starting the Level 3 course in September. We believe this is down to the way we teach our courses. We get to know you so our teaching fits your personality. Whether you are a star pupil or have struggled in the past, Nescot can give you the skills you need to become a top-flight beauty expert or hairdresser.
